Product Details and Usage Areas
Its body consists of soft transitions of clear off-white, light ivory, and light silvery tones. Its surface features characteristic vertical linear layers of vein-cut white travertine. The natural matte surface texture softly diffuses light, giving the space a modern, bright, and serene architectural character. Thanks to its giant dimensions of 120×280 cm, it eliminates the clutter of joints on large walls, floors, and facades, offering a fluid and seamless stone integrity.
It is produced with a thickness of 6 millimeters. Problems frequently encountered with real white travertine stones, such as the shedding of pore fillers, water absorption, blackening, and staining due to reaction with acidic substances, are completely prevented thanks to its porcelain structure. With its low square meter weight, it can be directly applied in mechanical installations on building exteriors, on wet volume walls, and on movable furniture surfaces without imposing static load on the system.
Application Options
- Interior Walls and Panels: Thanks to its 120×280 cm size, it creates a seamless panel effect on focal walls behind TVs, in hotel and office lobbies, around fireplaces, and on bathroom facades. When its linear veins are used vertically, it enhances the perception of ceiling height.
- Furniture Surfaces: Thanks to its 6mm thinness and lightness, it can be applied by gluing to island counter side panels, bathroom cabinet doors, and architecturally designed dining tables. It does not strain supporting structures and hinges.
- Facade and Flooring: It is fully resistant to frost, high temperatures, and direct sunlight (UV) rays. No yellowing or discoloration due to external weather conditions occurs on its white background and travertine lines.
Porcelain Material Advantages
- Liquid Repellency: Unlike real travertine, its pores are closed; tea, coffee, oil, and acidic liquids do not seep into the surface. It does not require periodic filling (mastic) and impregnation protection.
- Heat Resistance: Since it is fired at high temperatures, it does not crack or expand when exposed to direct heat, pot contact, or flame.
- Easy Cleaning: The non-porous porcelain surface does not harbor dirt or lime scale. It is easily made hygienic with standard neutral cleaners and a damp cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do travertine lines create open holes or pits on the surface?
No. The linear texture offers visual depth; the porcelain body is completely closed-pore. Since there are no pits or open holes, dust, dirt, and lime scale do not accumulate.
Does the 120×280 cm slab adhere to existing cladding?
Yes. Thanks to its 6mm thickness, it is lightweight. After an adhesion-enhancing transition primer is applied to the surface, it can be directly glued over old ceramic or granite claddings without breaking them.
Does the white travertine surface yellow over time?
Since porcelain’s water absorption rate is close to zero and it shows full resistance to UV rays, yellowing caused by external factors, which is seen in light-colored natural stones, does not occur with this product.
